As a member of a popular fitness center for a few years, I noticed numerous others frustrated with their fat loss exercise routines and eating practices, working so hard and long but with virtually no improvement to show for it.

Several of my own friends and relatives would bring up this new plan or product they had just shelled out cash for that was going to be the key to their fat loss and health goals. They were so excited about it and couldn't wait to get started.

Then, several weeks later, the same happy-go-lucky people that were once so jazzed about their new plan to reduce fat and get a new body were thoroughly depressed. It was difficult to watch.

I'd ask them how their fat burning strategy was working and they'd reveal to me that it seemed fairly good at first, but they didn't get the improvement they felt were promised. They rapidly became tired of following the daily workouts and discovered that following the harsh eating rules frustrating at times. So they hopped onto the next program.

Even worse, they became so aggravated with following these exercise trainers' plans, that they fell even deeper into unhealthy eating habits once they ceased the program. Stuffing became their only form of satisfaction. That's the wrong way away from maximum fat burning.

What's worse is that these people were following the typically recommended exercise and fad diets that were so popular. They were doing what everyone else was trying to burn fat fast.

After talking with many of these friends and inquiring about their exercise routines, I noticed one common premise that kept surfacing in our talks... they were focused on the short term... their approach was wrong. They weren't thinking of lifelong health and fitness, but instead they were thinking about losing fat and getting in shape for a wedding or "swimsuit season".

More specifically, they were also performing their exercise in a less than optimal manner. And then I noticed this with many others at the fitness center I worked out in. They just appeared to be missing the enthusiasm or intensity in their fat burning regimes which I knew could turn their routines from nothing to something literally overnight.

But you know, you can almost not fault them, and you absolutely shouldn't blame yourself if you've fallen into the cycle of fad exercise and diet plans. We all aspire to achieve what we know in our hearts we're capable of so badly, and that's why we're such easy victims of this "get fit quick" approach.

Most people are approaching fitness and health in the completely opposite way that they should, and they're not going to burn fat because of it. If you persist in thinking of using exercise and nutrition as ways to lose a few pounds, or to get in shape for summer or a wedding, you're going to be disappointed with your results.

If you think of exercise, nutrition, and rest as unrelated things, you're going to be dissatisfied with your fat burning and fitness results. If you think you have to spend hours a week in the fitness center or follow some strange weird eating strategy, you're going to be disillusioned with your results.

What all of these old approaches will do, is put you into the fitness and fat burning cycle of uncertainty that so many are stuck in these days. If instead, you choose to forget what you thought you knew, and start off with the proper method, the strategy that concentrates on making changes in your daily life permanently, you'll instantly improve your results by an order of magnitude.

When your methodology includes combining suitable workouts that take very little of your time, nutrition the way nature intended you to eat that is straightforward to understand and stick to, and the rest and recovery that is fundamental to lifelong vitality and energy, you'll experience an awakening of both body and mind. Plus you'll burn more fat, as well.

If you follow the path most often followed by those seeking to improve upon them selves, you'll most likely finish up like most of them. Bewildered, dejected, burnt out, hurt, ill, or worse. Did I mention very discontented with their fat burning results too?

Instead, you can choose to adopt a lifestyle that includes brief, progressive, and intense resistance exercise, eating a diet chock-full of nutrient rich foods, drinking lots of water, and getting plenty of quality sleep and rest. But realize that when you do so, you'll be joining the select few who realize that one of the true secrets to life long fat burning and health is not found on a fad diet or on the shelf of your local vitaminstore.

---The world's most efficient method for fast and permanent fat loss is the "Fat Burning Furnace" process which assists people looking to put an end to restrictive fad diets, long boring cardio workouts, and the requirement for super-human self-discipline, permanently.
